When to use it

High-performance RLHF framework with Ray+vLLM acceleration. Use for PPO, GRPO, RLOO, DPO training of large models (7B-70B+). Built on Ray, vLLM, ZeRO-3. 2× faster than DeepSpeedChat with distributed architecture and GPU resource sharing.

Example requests

Ask your agent in plain language, for example:
  • “How do I run GRPO with OpenRLHF on 8 GPUs?”
  • “I’m running PPO on a Llama-3 8B SFT checkpoint (./ckpt/llama3-8b-sft) with a reward model at ./ckpt/rm-8b, on 2 nodes of 8×A100 80GB with a Ray cluster. Using the hybrid engine I get CUDA OOM during the actor update, and DeepSpeed also throws ‘GPU index out of range’. How do I fix this?”
  • “I want to align a 70B model with a learned reward signal, with rollouts generated by a fast inference engine and the training spread over a multi-node GPU cluster managed by a distributed scheduler. Which approach and setup would you recommend, and what hardware would I need?”

Install

In Claude Code you can also add the marketplace with /plugin marketplace add KalarisLabs/research-agent-skills and install the whole ml-training category with /plugin install ml-training@research-agent-skills.
